Offering unprecedented control with its unifying operations platform, BeHome247 continues expanding its ever-growing list of integration partners. Since integrating with NoiseAware, a privacy-safe smart noise monitoring solution for vacation rental property managers, shared customers now get the best of both worlds.
About NoiseAware
A discreet noise monitoring system that detects excessive noise, NoiseAware’s enterprise-grade solution empowers vacation rental property managers to proactively reduce noise levels, resolve issues, and mitigate the property damage that often follows.
NoiseAware Evolution
Born in the wake of a party that went too far, NoiseAware was founded in 2015 to help property managers address noise-related costs in their vacation rentals. By 2021, NoiseAware saw more than one million short-term rental stays protected by its service, and now in 2023, that number has risen to eight million. Successfully turning a pain point into a solution, NoiseAware continues to respond to the demand for its increasingly popular product, emerging as the leader in smart noise monitoring.
“The initial goal was simple: prevent incidents at rental properties with noise monitoring technology. In the years since, it’s resulted in three generations of sensors, the development of an outdoor sensor, an entire overhaul of our brand, and continuous upgrades and versions of our dashboard and algorithms to better serve our customers,” says Christine Myer, VP of Sales and Marketing, NoiseAware.
NoiseAware Features
With a proprietary algorithm that tracks sound volume and duration to determine excessive or disruptive risk factors, NoiseAware is able to reduce noise events by 75%, with 90% resolved in 30 minutes. A custom dashboard, accessible by mobile app or desktop, conveys real-time information and alerts, expediting response times and ensuring noise levels are kept within moderate levels. If they aren’t, vacation rental property managers are the first to know from a selection of powerful NoiseAware features.
Privacy-safe Noise Monitoring gives property managers insight into what’s happening at each property and the tools to resolve noise quickly. Once noise levels exceed pre-defined parameters, whether set by homeowners, property managers, or local noise ordinance, guests will receive a friendly, automated guest message via integration partner BeHome247.
The AutoResolve feature, a guest-messaging-enabled feature, works similarly in that messages are automatically sent to guests who exceed the threshold set during quiet hours. NoiseAware has found that 90% of issues are resolved by automated messages to guests. Notifying guests directly when noise issues arise through single, remote, automated communication, NoiseAware saves property management teams valuable time and resources, resolving most issues with a single text.
Crowd Control detects wireless signals and elevated occupancy by monitoring levels without identifying or recording sounds. NoiseAware’s privacy-safe sensors ensure only decibels are measured, guests aren’t recorded, and privacy is always protected. When occupancy levels become excessive, property managers are notified via SMS or email so they can reach out to the guest directly, have their local team investigate, or pursue further actions, helping avoid damage to property and costly fines.
NoiseAware Benefits
Aside from protecting property managers by detecting rising noise levels, equipping them with tools to address noise-related issues, and offering automated text capabilities, NoiseAware goes one step further.
A Noise Risk Score (NRS) is assigned to quantify noise in different contexts and environments, and time-stamped data verifies the information in real-time and after checkout. Useful graphs depict recorded noise levels, helping property managers avoid penalties while offering protection against false noise level complaints from neighbors.
Getting Started with NoiseAware
NoiseAware’s indoor and outdoor sensors are 100% weatherproof and easy to install. Simply place the sensors where higher noise levels typically occur, and a subscription-based monitoring service will quickly have you up and running. Those with small portfolios will appreciate the ease of installation, while customized configurations, integrations, and professional installation prove tremendously helpful for property managers with larger portfolios.
NoiseAware Support
NoiseAware’s online tools provide helpful information for first-time users, while text messaging and phone support ensure responsive communication. A sensor installation guide walks customers through everything from the best locations for installations to how to mount and secure them. Users can reference the online PM Lounge for best practice tips, suggested rental agreement and guest book language, and a recommended text script when guest noise levels become excessive. A list of FAQs helps troubleshoot issues quickly, and a blog, case studies, and webinars provide additional information to ensure successful implementation.
Integrated Success
Noise-related issues consume resources, time, and money, and costs for violating regulations and property damage add up, taking a significant bite out of property management profits. As property managers seek solutions and powerful tools to streamline operations and increase revenue, BeHome247 and NoiseAware respond with innovative technology for those who need it most.
“We know that many of our customers use BeHome247 to manage smart home technology in their operations. We are excited to launch this integration, merging NoiseAware’s noise monitoring solution with BeHome247’s powerful automation tools, saving property managers time and money, ” says Myer.
